Jan Du Toit South African Pottery Deep Bowl with Floral Motif

Jan Du Toit is a name that appears with some regularity in the South African studio pottery record, and this signed deep bowl, with its warm ochre interior, blue rim detail, and hand-painted floral vase motif, is a piece of genuine distinction that rewards the close attention that signed studio work deserves.

Hand-painted and signed Jan Du Toit, this South African pottery deep bowl features a warm ochre interior with blue rim detail and a hand-painted floral vase motif that demonstrates a confident and personal decorative sensibility. The generous scale, at 29 cm wide and 12.5 cm deep, gives the decoration ample space to read clearly, and the combination of the ochre ground, blue rim, and floral motif creates a colour palette that is characteristic of the South African studio pottery tradition at its most expressive. Signed South African studio pottery pieces of this quality are increasingly sought after by collectors who recognise the importance of the local ceramic tradition.
